For those of you using a second compressor on things like a vocal bus, bass, or master channel, what is driving your decision to use it in the first place? Is it typically a slower reacting compressor, with less drastic reduction that's only there to smooth out the long-term gain, while the first is controlling transients? If so, does the second compressor ever have a different purpose in your mix for being there (other than straight up preferred color, perhaps)?
I usually have my vocal bus set up with 2 compressors; the second with the purpose above. Just curious what others use it for and seeing if I'm maximizing the potential with it. thanks
